TV News Terminology
October 14, 2016
Television terminology is something I believe everyone should learn. We have been discussing in class the different terminology that TV news stations use. Some of these terms may include a "voice over," "b-roll," or a "teaser." Learning about parts of local TV news stations was informative. We learned about what is important and what is put in there to sell you something. This lecture helped me fully understand parts of the news and how it affects the way we watch it.
In class Mr. Miller explained several terms that we were not affiliated with. Some of these included terms like "stand-up" or a "b-roll." After Mr. Miller explained these terms and gave examples, we learned that we have seen them quite often when watching the news. For example a "teaser" is a brief clip shown before the next clip of news to promote upcoming stories.
After Mr. Miller explained to us the different terms of the news I went home and watched the news. As I was watching I began to notice all the different terms we learned in class the previous day. Being able to distinguish these different parts of the news made me feel more knowledgable about what I was watching. It helped me feel like I knew what the news was trying to do and what they succeeded on doing. This was an informative as well as a thought-provoking lecture that taught me many valuable skills when analyzing the news.
